How to conserve water and still keep your lawn green abc15
A new study shows the greater Phoenix area is one of the most expensive cities when it comes to watering your lawn. About 70% of monthly water bills in this state go to keeping the landscape green.
"Water rates for utilities have gone up 43% and it's the one utility consistently taking off as far as costs go. It even outranks electricity costs," said study publisher Sharon Sullivan. Here in the Valley, flood irrigation is also an option for some. It's an old watering practice when the Valley was largely farmland. Only about 1% of Salt River Project customers do this. It's notably cheaper, costing $140 a year for .20 acres and $363 a year for a full acre. However, it also accounts for about 7% of the utility's water use for a small number of homes.
